Things to Do in Lawrenceville

No matter the season, the experienced instructors at Skydive Monroe help students discover Atlanta’s sky-high beauty while gliding through the air at 14,000 feet. They teach students of all experience levels the ins and outs of these giant leaps, working with beginners through tandem jumps, instructor-assisted deployments, and accelerated freefall classes. They also oversee jumps for more experienced divers, and welcome non-jumpers to ride along in the plane for an additional fee. Staff members document each trip on video, allowing jumpers to relive the thrill of the jump without painting tiny cityscapes on their trampolines.

An elephant towers over a rushing waterfall. The torrent of water patters down the rock face to form a burbling current that cuts through lush vegetation. The sound of children laughing breaks the exotic illusion as you line up your putt. You won’t find windmills or clowns lining the holes at Rainforest Golf—just stones, thick foliage, bubbling creeks, and realistic animal models that sound just like real models. Across 36 challenging holes, players navigate bridges and ascend more than 50 feet to where a real waterfall drops into a stream. The mini golf haven also entertains birthday parties for up to 15 kids with cotton candy and Edy's ice cream served in a private party room.
